While using this app, I find an answer to my unasked question:

“No.

The app keeps me logged in.

All the time.

No matter even if I choose the logout button or not.”

And so the unasked question it turns out is, is there such a thing as logout (or login) anymore?

The striking thing was that I ha…

2024-05-28 1616 part owner of the company -- 10 years or one day.txt

I said before, my goals are the following:

1.) learn every role in my company.

2.) become part owner of my company.

Further on this.

I just chuckled when i thought this, means it's a good idea.

I want to buy out the current owner of my company.

Mind you, today I have about ₷¤100 in my pocket.

So far from it.

However nonetheless.

I want to also aspire to this, and also ask my colleagues to aspire to this.

It FEELS so inspiring.

And no need to hide it from anyone, including any of my current bosses or skip-bosses or current company owners.

If anyone asks, I'll just always say like, 'yes, one day i want to be part owner of the company...'

Some will laugh at me.

But some will be inspired by me.

And I'll just keep at it, 1% 1% 1%.

And try to build up allies.

And try to build up relationships.

And try to build up assets / capital too as much as possible.

And then one day, some time probably between 10 years from now and 50 years from now.

One day, all of my, or at that point our, 1% 1% 1% efforts may build up, and then we may make an offer to whoever is the current owner or owners of the company, and it may be a spectacular offer, and by that point they may already be on board with us and have a good relationship with us, and they'll say, sure, welcome, you are now part owner, thank you so much for all you've done for us, it's been a great time and we know the company is in good hands with you all!!!

so that is the vision.

And so rewind to today.

An employee work-for-money.

a dollor or two above minimum wage.

a year at this company so far, and a handful of 1-year or 5-year stints at other companies before this.

And but now it seems like it's not even an option.

Why would I work for a company that wasn't open to having me as a part owner?

Why would I work for a company with colleagues, who aren't all wanting to be part owners together?

And so it's a goal.

do it!!!!

fin.

#0029 Social Hierarchy as a Thing






The thing about this podcast episode is they mention 'social hierarchy' AS A THING.

And the moment I hear them use this term to describe an aspect of human existence, I want to know all about it.

The speaker had this concept in their head before they said this term aloud on this podcast at the 43m:50s mark.

And so but what does it mean?

What is the definition of social hierarchy?

What is it comprised of?

What is the scope?

Who is involved in it?

How many stuff are involved?

How does it apply to me?

How did this persons on this podcast learn about it until this moment?

Did this persons who mentioned this learn of it all by their own discernment?

Did anyone write/define / research about this?

Is this something trained psychologists talk about? And if so, what do psychologists say about this?

Is this what anthropology is about? Years ago I had used to think anthropology, defined to me simplistically at the time as the study of humans, sounded silly since we are all humans and so we are all studying each other all day anyway. Time to give this another look.

so many questions.

"The Power Hour: Asylum Seekers & Cellphones (January 27, 2024)"
https://insidelowell.com/podcast/the-power-hour-asylum-seekers-cellphones-january-27-2024/

43m:50s
'...social circle ... my phone is like my shield ...no matter what device you have... there's still going to be social hierarchy...they all care about their snap streaks and their this and their that...'

On this podcast they are just chatting and throwing around informal casual ideas. Not a formal nor deep study, not academic study here.

And just because word association and meditation, not related to the podcast. I recall in recent years I myself read 'Annihilation of Caste' book, therein are described examples of more formal structures that could also be descibed using the words social hierarchy.

And then more topic idea association. More modern american hollywood films such as "Mean Girls" and dozens more, are dealing with ideas could also be called by the words social hierarchy. So it's not fair really to use those words to only describe one hierarchy in society.

Whereas, isn't it that the more one thinks about it, in human societies there is seemingly an infinite number of layers of social hierarchies?

#0024 Bought a Company 006




#0024 - I Bought a Company (day -196) [or I Bought a Company show #006]

Mailed another ¤5.00 check. day "-196".

Oops I remembered I may have, or may not have, endorsed or signed the checks correctly or wrongly.
And so I suspect I may get some of these checks coming back to me or have to redo them.
Another thing.
Realized I have been stressing out MEGA STRESSING OUT every single day of this project.
Including blogging, pictures, and translations.
And realized I'm dying slowly, quickly from this.
So now going back to chill mode.
I'll draft a post each day probably. maybe not every day.
Another thing.
I am just ignoring self doubt and fear about this whole "I Bought a Company each day" project.
And it starts to feel silly and foolish.
Who mails a separate ¤5.00 check each day?
It's starting to get to me.
It's not normal.

However.
Then I remember.

the point is to MAKE A BIG DEAL OUT OF IT.

"Make it a game."
#0003 - Make it a Game 做成一個遊戲 | https://www.lemontofu.com/p/0003-make-it-a-game
Make it absurdly lot of extra work on purpose so I'm daily constantly building muscle memory.
Make it be at the top of my mind every single day at least once per day.
Allow it to take up an hour of my day every day.
Worry about it at least a little bit every day.
This is the point.
To have a story to tell about it later.
A crazy epic story.

So here are the positions (companies) I own so far. And its empty as expected. Still needs another week or two for my checks to arrive at the brokerage and for the funds to become available for buying company shares. Here:

moving on.

On another note, it was misting today, here is an awesome pic:

On another another note. Saw this wild ladyslipper orchid flower today while hiking, how beautiful a flower:

In conclusion, today mailed another ¤5.00 check, thus setting up to be able to buy another piece of another company soon.

0020 VOO Returns Lesson





VOO returns in January 2024

Time | Return

1 yr | 26.2%

3 yr | 9.9%

LMAO!!! SO FUNNY my personal return for shares bought between 2021 and 2022 is:

8.9%

I bought all my shares within the same time period.

And yet my return was 1% less than the 3yr return, and 17% less than the 1yr.

What could explain this?

Well it is explainable that in this same three-year-long time period, the market was up and down, and I apparently bought when the market was high.

Oops.

But cool to learn that it's counterintuitive.

Because if I just look at market graphs averages 1yr or 3yr, then, it tells me I problably got 10% gain at least.

However then I look at my actual numbers and I see in truth, during that same period, I actually got (only) a 9% gain!

So better pay attention is the lesson! Pay attention to MY ACTUAL numbers, not just general numbers for the same time period.

How about making it a game? 把它做成一個遊戲怎麼樣？

An epic game. 一個巨大的遊戲

The main guidelines: 想一些規矩：

1.) each day deposit ¤5 into account, and 每天買一個公司的一部分

2.) each day use that to buy ¤5 of a company

Dollar cost averaging.

Fractional shares.

For 200 days in a row.

It seems foolish. 感覺有一點白痴

Purposely make it a big deal. 故意去裝作模樣

Make it important.

Add urgency.

How about making it a game?

Making it daily, how about that as a way to train myself up?

To learn?

To build strength in investing?

Fitness people go to the gym every day. 身體需要體練

Why shouldn't investors invest every day? 投資金錢怎麼樣可以也練習體練？

Why buy ¤5 scratch tickets every day? 為什麼每天買刮刮樂？

Why buy ¤5 cups of coffee every day? 每天買咖啡?

Why buy ¤5 of wine every day? 每天買酒?

Actually part of the point is to find a way to make it slow and steady. 細水長流

How about being too busy buying a company every day, so there's less time for unimportant stuff? 如果每天在忙買公司的事情的話，那就沒有時間去忙那些不重要的事情

How about just holding, not selling? 一直不賣那些公司的股票如何？

What is the worst that can happen?

I can lose some or all of the money, actually. 其實有可能會失去所有的錢然後錢都不見了

However if it was coffee or scratch tickets or beer then it seems I would also lose the money in those cases.

It becomes a habit.

Practicing, training, learning.

Becoming more efficient.

How about making it a game?

How about an epic game?

But it's scary. I'm scared.

What if people say 'you can't do that' ?

Say you can't make such a big fuss of ¤5 per day.

However a coffee shop barista doesn't say I can't buy a ¤5 coffee there every day.

And the store clerk doesn't say I can't buy a ¤5 scratch ticket there every day.

And the liquor store clerk doesn't say I can't buy a ¤5 wine there every day.

So let's test it.

Let's see what people say when I try to buy ¤5 of a company every day.

What will my friends say when they see I'm using a stamp and an envelope, every day?

Will people say, I'm weird, or I'm wasting time, or crazy?

Will some people say that's cool?

How about making it a game? 把它做成一個遊戲怎麼樣？

How about an epic game? 一個巨大的遊戲
